During walks, dog’s feet, legs and belly may pick up deicers, antifreeze or other chemicals that can be deadly. When inside, wipe down or wash your pet’s feet, legs, and belly to remove chemicals to reduce the risk of an animal getting poisoned by licking its feet or fur.

Hot cars can be a threat to your animal. So can a cold car. A car can rapidly cool down in cold weather and can chill your pet.

When walking a dog, stay away from frozen ponds, lakes, and other water. The ice may not be thick enough to hold the animal’s weight.
